Winchester Introduces New 400 Legend Straight-Walled Cartridge

Winchester has introduced a new straight-walled cartridge, the 400 Legend. The straight-walled design of the 400 Legend qualifies it for use in several states that restrict bottle-necked cartridges for hunting. It is suitable for deer, pigs, black bears, and other big game.

Winchester 400 Legend ammunition will begin shipping in July, and 400 Legend-chambered rifles will be offered in the coming year from: Mossberg, Ruger, Savage Arms, Winchester Repeating Arms, CMMG, and more.
